20-Year Old Busted With Fake ID In West Hartford Center

WEST HARTFORD - A 20-year old woman is facing felony forgery charges after police said she was found in possession of a pair of fake IDs in the West Hartford Center early New Year's Day.

Police said that officers on patrol saw Andrew Gelston, 24, of White Plains, N.Y., push Gina Dellagala, 20, of Hopewell, N.Y., up against a wall in front of Grant's Restaurant and Bar on Farmington Ave.

Police intervened and charged Gelston with breach of peace.

Police said that Dellagala was "highly intoxicated" and sent to the hospital for evaluation. The investigation revealed that Dellagala used her older sister's driver's license to drink at the bar and was also in possession of forged New York license with a false birthdate on it.

After being released from the hospital, Dellagala was brought back to the police department and charged with two counts of second-degree forgery, a felony.

Gelston appeared in court on his charges Jan. 2. Dellagala is scheduled to appear in court on her charges on Jan. 15. Both were release after posting bond.
